Specimens vaguely labelled ‘‘Malacca” or of Malacca 
‘“make’’ may have come from almost anywhere especially since 
until recent years bird skins were a large export from the 
territory and the collection thereof a trade which afforded 
occupation to considerable numbers of hunters who travelled 
far in pursuit of it. 
The specimens collected by Mr. Kloss on the coasts and 
islands of S.E. Siam, [bis 1915, p. 752 were certainly all G. 
imnotata, in that they lacked the wing spots, but his series was 
small. Possibly Blyth’s original locality was incorrect and the 
real locality of his types was Siam or Indo-China. Iam inclined 
to think that the species is, at anyrate partially, migratory, 
which would account for its sporadic appearance in the more 
southern parts of the Malay Peninsula and for its greater 
abundance in the north of the Peninsula during the winter 
months.

Common in Trang and on the islands during the winter 
months; in the south of the Peninsula found, as a rule, only on 
the tops of the mountains, presumably on passage.
